📣 arrow-extendr now supports polars! 🐻‍❄️ Use {duckdb} + {polars} + {arrow} + DataFusion all from extendr with a handful of lines of Rust 🦀 #rust #rstats

An interactive geotiff viewer extension for #vscode / #positron powered by @kylebarron.dev's amazing deck.gl-raster. Just click on a tif file and take a peek. Early days but give it a spin and let me know if there are any issues. ✌️ github.com/belian-earth...

Three updates in deck.gl-raster v0.4: 1. New example for NDVI filtering on the GPU 2. When zooming in, render coarser image data while higher-res data is still loading 3. Fixed reprojection and rendering at high latitudes developmentseed.org/deck.gl-rast...

Some of the test cases for the native LaTeX math expression parser and renderer I've been working on for textshaping which will soon bring native math equation rendering to #rstats and marquee

I've used Rapp to make an R CLI before and its lovely! #rstats

{calcite} v1.0.0 is out 🎉 Oh and {mapgl} has esri-basemap support now 👀 Try it out with calcite::open_example("page-sidebar-penguins") 🤖 using Claude? Feed it calcite context! r.esri.com/calcite/llms... A release post coming soon.... #rstats

#EOchat: Following last week's initial release of #NISAR L-band #SAR 🛰️ data by the #ASFDAAC, here's some sample data over northeastern #Guatemala. The large red splotches in the 1st 2 images (freq. A) are RFI artefacts, not visible in the 2nd 2 images (freq. B). #GoldenAgeOfSAR

Getting very into a5 right now, its such a clever geospatial index when you get into it! A bunch of new functions have landed in {a5R} including new traversal functions and paired cell distance calculation. belian-earth.github.io/a5R/articles... #rspatial #rstats

My first actual stats #rstats package... Another #rust wrapper -this time for the insanely performant petal-cluster crate. So far it seems super fast but would love feedback if you have any! ✌️ github.com/belian-earth... includes DBSCAN, HDBSCAN, and OPTICS algorithms.

#RStats When i was looking at some of the perf in quickr readme, i was thinking oh these tails are R's garbage collection pauses, the R-to-C (LLM enabled) rabbit hole i went in makes the pauses worse because it is really R to R's C API and sometimes calling into R via Rf_eval :D

Present at @cascadiarconf.bsky.social !!!! I can't wait to meet y'all there! #rstats

A new version of {valh} has hit the CRAN. {valh} is an interface between R and the Valhalla API. Valhalla is a routing service based on OpenStreetMap data. https://github.com/riatelab/valh This is mostly a maintenance release, no new features, but the package […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

sometimes I look at all the zarr variants apis and just think "this is a whole new round of horseshit just like opendap and netcdf was", declared utopia by the matlab community 20 years ago and we've come close to an actual rich ecosystem of tools but it's all being wrapped up in marketing again.

Bit of love for #rstats 📦 {paint} today as I had to swap out a deprecated dependency. The interactive scrolling ipaint() got a speed up, and some additional controls to advance pages, or to start / end. I find myself using this one a bit lately.

Any #rstats folks interested in testing out a package for SQL linting in R workflows? I made a package that wraps SQLFluff into R with reticulate. I've tried it on a few machines I own but would appreciate some experimentation before I try to send it to CRAN. github.com/brendensm/sq...

I love this idea: duckdb.org/community_ex.... It translates dplyr syntax _inside_ of duckdb so you can mix it with regular SQL

I merged a PR for mirai today (fixing an esoteric bug), that came with a performance boost that I'd never have thought existed. That means that on my laptop, the default (with dispatcher) round-trip performance now dips into sub-100 microseconds territory!! Get it now: `pak::pak("r-lib/mirai")`

Hey #rstats fam, is anyone else having issues with the new Pandas update and reticulate? It's not converting the pandas DataFrames to R for me on AWS SageMaker and I can't quite pin down why.

Things are grim. But in more frivolous news... @jamesbrandecon.bsky.social and I have been chipping away at `dbreg`, a 📦 for running big regression models on database backends. For the right kinds of problems, the speed-ups are near magical. Website: grantmcdermott.com/dbreg/ #rstats [1/2]
